Hello all, twin girls coming up. One is Magdalena Rose and the other Valentina ??? I would like something short-ish but classic.

well the name Valentina means to be strong what about belle which means beauty in other words strong and beautiful

I was just about to say Rose to go with Valentina! Definitely just one syllable so some ideas here....

Belle
Hope
Grace

Although maybe not 'Belle' or it will be VB. I couldn't have a name beginning with B or the initials would be BO 😂

Agree with pp that one syllable is nice:

Valentina Grace/Beth/June/Maude/Tess/Ann

I would have said Rose if you didn't already have that for your other one. I like Grace and Pearl if you only want a one syllable middle name. (We're going for Rose as one of the middle names too - although we're having 2 middle names:-) Valentina is a beautiful name - it was on my shortlist!

Great names OP, congrats!

lebkuchenlover · 08/11/2018 15:15

I love Valentina! Of all the suggestions, I think Joy is a lovely middle name.

Another vote for Valentina Ruth

How bizarre. After reading OP I immediately thought, Valentina Rose
Which is odd as I then read that not only have you already used Rose bit that the first post I read suggested the same!

What would think to swapping them, and finding a different middle name for Magdalena?

Shriek · 08/11/2018 16:55

I see there was another for rose too!

I do think it's a wonderful match

diddl · 08/11/2018 16:58

Elise

Shriek · 08/11/2018 17:29

...and Magdalena Grace

trob22 · 08/11/2018 20:54

Thanks all. We decided against "Valentina Rose" because it sounds TOO romantic haha. I like Maude but we found out that it was originally a nickname for Madeline so too close to Magdalena. I like Ruth and Margot. My sister's middle name is Margaret so that would be a nice nod to her.

Update: what do you think of Margary? (ie with a hard G, not Margery or Marjorie.) Have been doing some research and apparently it was a Tudor version of Margaret which fell out of fashion...I love it. I want my my girls to have unusual names (I was one of three people in my school year with my name and it sucked) but also proper traditional names which aren't made up...thoughts?
